I swore I would never be a two dress bride. I tried to make myself happy with my first dress, but that didn't work. Then I tried to content myself with buying a reception dress to change into for dancing, but that didn't work. Now I've ordered a second dress, intending to wear it only for the reception. But I am sooo in love with the second dress. The pictures below are of me WITHOUT my corset/girdle thingie. I may not even have to wear one with this dress, let me know what you think ladies.
Front. Please ignore the mess on the bed, lol.
Right side of the dress. I look so skinny in it! I love it! I wonder what it would look like with my longline bra on to suck in my tummy...
Left side of the dress. I love the beaded detail on the hip.

Also, this dress has a built-in crinoline (so I can get rid of the one I've got!) and a much longer train than I had thought! I need to get it altered a bit. The hook above the zipper is broken, so that needs to be fixed. It also needs to be hemmed AT LEAST 3 inches or so. And I may or may not see about having the bust taken in a bit, but I kind of like the fact that it sticks out a bit, because it makes my 36A's look a little more like 36B's. ;-)
